Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter’s creator J.K. Rowling said that she is ready to release the sixth installment of now famous ‘Harry Potter’ series of novel.

The sixth book in the series is entitled “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince“. Rowling has already revealed that the sixth book will see one of the characters killed, but she has given no hints as to who is doomed.

J.K. Rowling added more spice to the occasion by unveiling some excerpts from the novel:

1. Half-Blood Prince was neither Harry nor Voldemort.
2. She also told names of three of the chapter titles:
– Chapter two – Spinners End
– Chapter six – Draco’s Detour
– Chapter 14 – Felix Felicis
3. And there’ll be a new Minister for Magic.

The book is set to be published on July 16, 2005 in Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

The retail price is $29.99 but if you order now from Amazon you get 40% off, so just $17.99. So Pre-order now.

Rowling has plans to release one more Harry Potter novel after Half-Blood Prince. She has already written the last chapter of the seventh book, where she describes what happens to the characters who survive until the end.

I haven’t really made time to read any of the novels yet, but I’ve truly enjoyed the movie adaptations of them up to now and can’t wait for the next one to come out.

  1. omg the movies were sooo wrong .. it figures u like them the only people who do are the ones that have never read the books .. a real fan knows whats right and wrong in the movies and can see them for what they are .. they tried but failed in my eyes and the eyes of many other true harry potter fans … the movies dont even compare to the greatness of the novels

  2. I thought the movies were good, but the books were definiatly better.. But, hey, the movies are never as good as the books, right? So its alright. But anyone who watches the movies should definiatly read the books… there’s so much important things left out in the movies… and plus, you dont get the know what the characters are thinking in the movies, you do in the books.

  4. Harry Potter has become a part of dreams. This may sound dumb but when I turned 11, I waited and looked for a letter from Hogwarts. I was terribly disappointed. 🙁 I most certainley cannot wait 6 months for the book to come out !!!! I have been happier ever since I heard the news. I hope everyone is as excited as I am. 🙂
